Attorney General Merrick Garland appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions about his involvement in the drafting of a DOJ memo to the FBI requesting support for investigations of parents who attend school board meetings across the country.
While the topic is downplayed by U.S. corporate media, the specifics of the issue are pertinent in that they highlight the politicization of the Justice Department by DOJ officials throughout main justice and the various offices of U.S. attorneys.
Garland was prompted to write his instructions as an outcome of the White House coordinating with leftist political operatives within the education system, specifically the National School Board Association.
It seems apparent, from the questioning and responses today, that Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was the central DOJ official who coordinated the political intent of the memo. Monaco was previously President Obama’s homeland security advisor and lawyer in the White House. Within the main justice structure, Lisa Monaco is now the head of the DOJ National Security Division, the agency given the prosecutorial power within the Garland memo.
The background of the memo involved parents becoming aware of Critical Race Theory (CRT), essentially Marxist lesson plans within various regional school boards. The parents responded to the information by confronting school boards across the nation. The left-wing political operatives were caught off guard by the massive assembly and grassroots organization of parents in almost all states.
The CRT and education issue galvanized across party boundaries as Republican, Independent and Democrat voters -who are also parents- united in a common cause against the Marxist indoctrination material that is akin to the same playbook that triggered the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Quickly awakened parents and concerned citizens were confronting the issue, and their commonality became a political risk to Democrats. This triggered contacts from various left-wing organizations to the White House.
The Joe Biden White House -filled with Obama ideologues- responded to the threat of intense political damage, by organizing pushback against parent groups through the various educational organizations, teachers unions and community activists. Their assembled strategy resulted in the letter from the National School Board Association, to the DOJ into the awaiting hands of DAG Lisa Monaco.
Monaco, having previously seeded the discussion within Main Justice about the political threat, then organized and helped draft the memo quickly signed by AG Merrick Garland. The NSBA letter arrived on Friday, and the AG memo instructing the FBI to target parents was signed the following Monday. Everything in the background of the issue highlights how the political needs of the White House become the focus of activity by the U.S. Justice Department.
In essence, the Merrick Garland memo highlights how the DOJ is weaponized against the political opposition of the White House; this is the larger issue.
Given the recent examples of the DOJ being weaponized against their political opposition, the Garland memo is seemingly just another data point in an endless assembly of data-points that prove just how corrupt the U.S. system of justice has become. However, just because corruption is rampant and transparently obvious does not mean we should allow ourselves to become numb with anticipation of that corruption.
Action to address that corruption starts at the local level with a committed and engaged citizenry who actively address and hold accountable their local school board members and educational officials.
The intent of the Garland memo was to frighten parents away from the corruptions within the education system with the threat of the FBI investigating them. If you allow your behavior and expectations to change based on fear, those who count on fear to manipulate the outcome will win.
Many people view these confrontations by Senators as nothing more than public displays that amount to no accountability. In part, that is correct; however, it is not the responsibility of a senator, any senator, to confront the school board member where the origin of accountability needs to reside.
The role of a U.S. Senator is to hold the federal arm of the DOJ accountable and put them on notice. This is what they are doing. The role of the engaged citizen is to address the educational manipulation on a local level. You cannot abdicate your responsibility to confront corrupt activity in your neighborhood to Washington DC. It is the role and responsibility of the parent/citizen to deal with that corruption.
Snarking at Senators for confrontational hearings might feel like a good way to deflect our responsibility. However, all it does is erode the foundational principle behind our constitutional republic which is built upon individual rights and responsibilities that start at the local level. Those who believe the federal government should address local school board issues, are, by nature of their argument, asking for a larger system of centralized government.

Wrong thread ?♂️
Why did not one GOP senator ask Garland about election fraud. Are only acceptable topics discussed. I want leaders, not the ones who just follow!!!
Let’s just expand that into EVERYTHING we don’t like about what’s going on?
How long and how confusing would you like these hearings to be?
This issue is likely the most easily understood and condemned among all other things. It hits closest to the heart of average Americans of every demographic.
This issue offers the best wedge of attack against the Biden administrations weaponization of government. Not just the DOJ but ALL of it. Once the credibility of the real threat to America has been established to Americans, the house of cards will soon fall with the full approval and consent of the people.
Bull.
In Washington there is no such thing as election fraud. Haven’t you heard?
Because their Senate Minority leader has won primaries on election fraud. Guaranteed.
Yep. Either the GOP is awash in Chinese money, or they have their own “guaranteed” fiefdoms in congressional districts & states bought by the same computer systems. Or they’re on camera buggering little boys.
There has to be a reason why the opposition party doesn’t actually oppose.
Hahahaha! Those Democrats ( fake Republicans) are just fine with a stolen election. In fact its the reason they were infiltrated into the “Republican Party”- another fake entity designed for the sole purpose of extracting donations from willing dupes.
Because this AG wouldn’t have a job if the DOJ investigated election fraud … and the same likely goes for many of those senators.
I am sorry to say I abdicated my responsibility by not voting in the school board elections. I thought I don’t have grandchildren and my child went to religious school so I will leave it to those who have kids in the public schools.
Never again.
Good point, and one that we oldsters must never lose sight of.
We always ask our friends and neighbors with children or are teachers themselves who they would vote for and why. Especially the Superintendent. As a general rule, we vote out incumbents.
Don’t ask teachers. They support union endorsed candidates. Parents to protect their kids, generally support the administration. Look at the credentials and recognize that business skills are needed. Your schools is full of educators. You don’t need them on the board, which is an oversight role.
You are paying for the schools. I have no children but I was elected to the board as a result of a local scandal. Parents think only parents should serve. Give us your money and shut up.
I believe voting for conservatives in our local elections is the most important thing we can do right now. As far as I know, they are still legit and many of the candidates will be running for federal office one day.
They are all our children. They are the children who will have a bearing on the life of your child. We all have to remember we are one humanity which is under insidious attack. If we think of it that way, every school board office is more important than any federal government position, up to and including the President of the United States, which, in reality, is an honorific…given how it is the Deep State that holds the power.
A brilliant and wise decision on your part.
You know that complete moron working at the shop nearby or the idiot who is now a nurse because they got rid of the decent ones? That moron is a moron because the schools. which do the bidding of the school board.
You do not have to have kids in order to be affected by what a school board does.
Me too! This transgender crap needs to be OUT of our schools. NO boys in the girls bathrooms, lockerrooms, or sports.
Correct … they are using your tax dollars to spread their EVIL.
Garland’s son-in-law & daughter are raking in million$$$ of our tax dollars for the Critical Race evil being forced on the public schools & students.
My children are grown, My husband’s grandchildren went to schools half way across the country. The thing that drove me to the polls for school board elections is this. Today’s children are tomorrows leaders. What we allow them to learn today will be what we live tomorrow. Even though us older folks don’t have a horse in the race right now, we still have a vested interest in what happens to our country in the future. Those children today, are our future….please get involved at every level if you care about what direction our country goes today, tomorrow, and in the generations to come.
If you live in fear, they win. Hold those local to you accountable. Call them out every chance you get. They hate sunlight. FJB.
FJB
Wow, a gaggle of RINOs polishing their credentials. Right now Ron Johnson is the only Senator I care to hear from as he is the only who has spoken out about ‘vaccine’ deaths.
Did you read the article before you commented?
Yes. Are you putting me in my place for speaking my mind?
Those who believe the federal government should address local school board issues, are, by nature of their argument, asking for a larger system of centralized government.
Your preaching to the choir. And two of those five frauds are from my home state. I can still reserve the right to have my opinion of them even if they occasionally do the right thing, for television consumption.
so the FEDERAL “justice” department shouldn’t be reined in by the FEDERAL government it is part of?
bold strategy cotton, let’s see how it plays out.
Sundance, I understand your point of view, but what you cite as an axiom is your opinion and not necessarily true in all instances. The bottom line in the Loudin County School Board situation is better described by what Sen. Tom Cotton did today: “Merrick Garland’s performance as Attorney General has been shameful. He should resign in disgrace.”
The federal government inserted itself in this role by issuing an abhorrent memo (marching orders to the FBI and all USA’s offices) that equates parents concerned with political indoctrination of children in public schools with terrorists.
Come on, Sundance—Sen. Cornyn and Sen. Grassley both voted to confirm Garland as USAG. Did they not know who he was? Why would they vote to confirm anyone selected by this administration in the first place? They were under no obligation to do so, right?
Now why it is relevant in this context? Well, simply because the entire system has become so corrupt and rotten that one may argue it does really only exist on paper… In fact, if you look at this administration’s actions and reaction (even compared to Obama’s two “first” terms), they are not even trying to hide their intentions… And that’s exactly why we will not be able to vote or litigate our way out of this mess.
Any political grassroots movement will be infiltrated and destroyed by the federal agencies like FBI, IRS, TSA and local DA’s installed by the Left (such as Soros’ DA’s/USA’s and State AG’s) with RINO’s gleefully cheering them on from behind closed doors.
Your strategy sounds reasonable, Sundance. It really does. The only issue and its fatal flaw is the timing—we are almost out of time.
Please share your plan to get “out of this mess.”
A start would be to not fall for the shiny object the Uniparty dangles in front of your face. Like with this hearing. Is it important? Sure but it’s also just a bone to placate the Republican base. Will anything come of this? Maybe maybe not. But those Republican ‘Vikings’ got their tv time. That’ll come in handy next time they are up for re-election.
Frank: ‘peace’ is just trying to get me to implicate myself or say something stupid. I used to call it “fishing for actionable buzzwords.”
All I’m going to share with you is that hope is neither a strategy, nor it’s a tactic.
Beyond a certain point, when you see too much with “your own lying eyes” to proceed any further with “hope” is to take up residence in a houseboat on that river in Egypt — De Nile!
Now tell me which of the agencies you’re working for?
I giggled. I admit it. Can’t ‘De Nile’.
The plan that will get us out of this mess cannot be discussed publically without the FBI knocking on your door.
Four Four years, McConnell, as MAJORITY leader, dictated to PDJT who he could appoint to “Head” the Federal agencies under the Executive.
“They will never get confirmed” was McConnels mantra to Trump, for any MAGA nominee.
McConnell forced on PDJT, RINO traitors, …..and the reason given was, IIRC the 60 vote threshold on confirmations.
And yet now, with McConnell as MINORITY leader, Bidenites get every extremist nominee that ask for, …..
How come Chuck isn’t telling Biden WH “Sorry, we need 60 votes to confirm, and Republicons will block Garland as A.G., or Soviet as Head of Treasury”, etc, etc.?
Somehow, EVERY TIME, Biden gets his nutjob nominees, like Buttwipe as Transportstion Secretary.
Uniparty Globalists vs American people, NOT Republicons vs Democrats.
Spot on! Mitch McConnell kept the Senate in session for four years to deny President Trump each and every recess appointment. Why? Because nothing was more dangerous than to have a “MAGA guy” on the inside of CIA, DOJ or FBI who could ask all the right questions. You know “getting to the bottom of it,” which would have led right back to Mitch, Paul, Trey and others as being intricately involved in the Mueller Insurance Plan, and GOP-engineered surrender of the House to Pelosi to continue with the plan to oust Trump from the early planning stages.
That’s why Barr was doing exactly what Mitch hired him to do and Durham is doing what Barr hired him to do; and that was to conceal and “paper over” Congressional Republican Leadership’s fundamental, formative role in the soft coup, which included shielding the active “small group” inside the FBI, DOJ, FISC/SCOTUS and CIA who, once faced with long prison sentences, would have named names.
Johnson voted to confirm Garland, shockingly. He has redeemed himself by attacking the effects of these monstrous vaxes like a pitbull. He is the only senator to do so. Rand Paul is going after Herr Doktor. But Johnson has brought his A game on the vaxes.
Yep.
Think you commented on my TX beef prices post last week. Choice grade was awful. Going to have to justify prime. Cheers
Yes I did. Well remembered. I hope you enjoy it. Sometimes it’s just worth the splurge.
All dog and pony show. These people should never be trusted. If they are not corrupt, they are compromised, and if they are not compromised, they are just trying to score some cheap points that cost them nothing.
Agree. Bread and circuses for the plebs…us. As for trust, I have no trust for any government entity or official. I never have. But at least Johnson is bringing to light things that everyone else in Congress has ignored. So I will give him points for that. Same with Rand Paul for putting Fauci, child and animal torturer and killer, in compromising positions which are causing others to look further into this Mengele/Eichmann hybrid. He started the ball rolling.
He also was all over the Hunter Biden laptop and the compromising information on it.
I have no hope that that will come to anything unfortunately. HB will skate on everything. Just like the Clintons, just like every sorry corrupt amoral politician that disgracefully serves himself/herself in the positions they hold. They all make small noises and head nods to the facts of his grafting, grifting and general repugnance, so there is that. Otherwise , as I’ve said before, we have a better chance of Godot dropping by than we do of ever seeing that sorry mass held accountable in any real way. Sickening, isn’t it.
No, he hasn’t redeemed himself. He’s just spouting hot air. When it came to vote, he wimped out.
The vote preceded his investigations into the vaccine. For the moment I’ll look at it as his Mulligan. Admittedly the jury is still out.
Cruz and Cotton were great.
ahh, “UNLOADS” – another of those great descriptors for tweets that accomplish nothing. I will have to add that to the repertoire of BRUTAL TAKEDOWN and BLISTERING and TOTALLY DESTROYS THE NARRATIVE and BOMBSHELL
I hope a giant sink hole swallows DC when all swampees are there.
That’s what I’m hoping for. Lol
why hope when you can be the catalyst?
a well-targeted 100kt nuclear weapon on DC when Congress and SCOTUS are in session would go a long way to clear up this country’s problems…I doubt you could find Abraham’s “10 righteous persons” in the whole city
Thanks for the reminder Sundance. ? ?
FTA, “Those who believe the federal government should address local school board issues, are, by nature of their argument, asking for a larger system of centralized government.”
We American citizens need to continue our mission to influence while we have opportunity. All of us doing what is necessary in our sphere of influence.
Planning to speak at my school board meeting tomorrow. And I’m a homeschool mom!
/cheers Karen GO get ’em- and wake up the others around you, too! Good on you

Not a single Democrat Senator voted even one of President Trump’s cabinet nominees but these RINO Cowards lined up to vote for a Bolshevik!
because decorum.
decorum is more important than the republic.
It’s not so much decorum, as pricey decor for somebody’s third fancy house.
One again its Skeletor and the dope from South Dakota…….what is happening to my Mayberry?
The Decepticons, and 19 of those, are “proxie” votes, they, like all R Senators, vote the way THE ONE (McConnell) tells them to.
Got that right.
Especially Thune, whom, as Sundance has mentioned, likely stands waiting in the wings if McConnell decides he has enough Chinese moolah by now to get himself out of the line of fire.
My two idiots from NC are on the list. Figures.
How extremely familiar this list is. It’s the Terrible Twenty.
I still have this list from March when sundance posted it.
I have another list, of those who were pushing the Not-Actually-Infrastructure Bill in August, that includes them all (I think), plus another crew including Crapo (Bannon keeps suggesting that PDJT un-endorse that guy and I agree!).
Less easy to compile is a list of which ones went on record stabbing PDJT in the back after Jan 6…
I’m now working on a list of their primary opponents. Looks like some of them are retiring. Hope this is correct: Blunt retiring, Burr retiring, Grassley (undecided on whether to run), Johnson (undecided on that too), Portman retiring, Thune (undecided) ??
I agree Johnson has been terrific on the mandates. That said, my CTH-cynical side says that may be his attempt to redeem himself. At least if so, he picked the right issue…
I blame the cops as well for following orders. They too have an obligation to take a stand and fight for freedom.
Just obeying orders is getting old.
The only time the police have stood up to tyranny in the past year and a half is when they are about to be forced to get the clot shot. Sad.
they stood up for themselves, not against tyranny.
Well said.
I’ve got my eye continuously on Australia and their despicable Gestapo. Waiting for the masses to have their vengeance on these Ubermensche or for members of that most despicable enforcement enterprise to realize they are on the wrong side.
If the latter, then Australia might have a chance to overcome the brutal and inhuman despotism that has overwhelmed her.
Saw something several weeks ago where the police seemed to side with some protesters.
One instance. 1700 deaths from Covid? Insane. Even the big union protests last month were only because they were being ordered to get ‘vaccinated’. They weren’t based on anything but self interest. And the army is pretending to be police. I always thought if I won the lottery I might retire to Australia. They’re broken, I fear.
Took too long to edit:
The leftist unionists who had no problem with Government tyranny for the past year and a half while they were allowed to work started protesting when their union leadership sided with the Government and said you have to get ‘vaccinated’. They did not care when non union members were being oppressed or beaten.
Ubermensche? Tx German descent?
Some fella named Mungrel who posts might have better insight. He seems to hold out hope that not all Australia is caving in.
Answered your post above but it has gone to awaiting approval. It will show up in a minute.
No, not German. Definitely full blooded Texan. But they do have the most glorious meaningful words that are so so useful, don’t you think?
Oh haha!! I just saw you refer to Mungrel! My awaiting approval post refers to him. You’ll see when I comes through.
Glad you’ve drawn a line through that plan, Frank. When I was living in the UK, I knew quite a few there who immigrated to Australia and some to New Zealand. I think about them now in their “paradises”. I converse here with Mungrel. Maybe you’ve run across his comments? Anyway we’ve clicked on several issues. He is a good man, an Aussie, a man of deep honour who keeps us up on this site on the horrors in Aussieland.
The police there are still serving there masters. I’m not sure they’ll ever have an awakening, but that they will is something I pray for. Glad you reconsidered. Don’t think you’d be very happy. Australia is gone barring some God delivered miracle, which I pray for as well.
Sorry for the delay Betsy…. 🙁
Oh no worries Ad Rem. I know it’ll show up eventually. Thank you. God bless you.
I knew that was the case when I learned that Max Igan, who reports on Australia on bitchute, had left Australia.
The whole situation there is so nightmarish. The worst sort of nightmare, and they can’t wake up from it. It just gets worse by the day. And when I chat with Mungrel and get his views from the on the ground reports he gives, I feel physically sick. How could one human do what they are doing to another?
This is how I know absolutely that Satan has been busy collecting souls. There is no other explanation for it…none.
Cheers
I don’t think that Sheriff’s Deputies should take orders from school board members. They should have a mind of their own!
Both likely being bribed by the same people
We should be putting the LEO’s around the country on record for whether they will act against its citizens. do not let them worm their way out of taking a stand out of some sense of misguided hero worship. vast majority of them will NOT be on the side of freedom when their own self interest becomes part of the table stakes.
It’s prosecutable as well. See WWII Gemany.
Thanks for this important reminder. I am guilty of belittling the Senators who did grill AG Garland and will switch over to using their efforts in a different way..
I would like to point out a particular danger in AG Garland assigning action on his memo to National Security related DoJ and FBI offices. They are the ones who who use (and abuse) the “secret” FISA Process. It would be very easy to use 2-hop rules and link communications to parents to some nebulous foreign location via CC or BCC on Text or EMail, a wrong phone number from a foreign locations (even Canada), a direct Tex or EMail sent by “mistake”, et al …purpose obtain a search warrant and if necessary set up a FARA Case that requires time and allot of money to defend.
Ask Tucker Carlson. He often operates out of his studio in Maine. The pod cast signal or cell phone calls can easily be bounced across the border into Canada…just sayin’.
Our side is fighting back despite the threats from the police state.
Peacefully, but relentlessly.
to Terry McAuliffe: “Laugh, Clown, laugh.”
When you’re an idiot, your an idiot. MAGA “Hats on” to you Terry……Idiot.
Lindsey Graham is a TRAITOR to this Country.
They couldn’t get away with any of this without complete control of the FBI… Every Republican, running for political office, needs to make clear as a campaign promise, that the FBI as it currently exists will be disassembled as an organization and all leadership will be purged on the FIRST day the new administration takes office… Following that, the new leadership team will reorganize based on depoliticizing and reengaging the culture with rules and regulations that will keep what’s happened from ever happening again… Former Bushie and Obama people need not apply…
Not one of these senators requested a 5 min recess during Trump. And I would bet that not one would request recess if Trump got back in.
SHUT UP CORNYN!!! You voted to confirm this worm.
Polishing up his ‘right wing’ bonafides for his future crowning as new Republican Senate leader aka Mitch 2.0.
I honestly think it will be Thune. At one time I thought it would be Cornyn, and it still may be. But there is something that tells me it will be the too slick by half Thune. Neither, though, fills me with confidence.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Cotton & Cruz were great. Really liked Cruz drilling the eunuch Garland re that liar Fauci. My only question to that exchange was what there was to investigate? It’s not like the little worm didn’t directly lie under oath to Congress then was explicitly contradicted by his own staff in writing
Agreed. Lee was atrocious. The rest, meh.
I don’t like Lee because he’s in the pocket of Big Tech – and I also doubt Dan Bongino’s judgment for frequently talking about how much he respects Lee.
Lee talks a very good game but if it’s a Googlicious Game, no thanks!
Thanks for the reminder of our obligations. Have to admit the Senators named did a great job exposing Garland and I will make an effort to push their efforts in my way.
The one danger in Garland moving responsibility for going after parents to the INTEL parts of the DoJ and FBI is that they can use the FISC via easily drummed up evidence to conduct secret surveillance and entangle parents in an expensive effort to defend against a FARA claim.
Ask Tucker Carlson.
AND, in any case where parents “band together” and form any kind of an ORGANISATION, the FBI can find a parent in the district, find SOME Federal charge they can be charged with, threaten to ruin their lives unless they becoms a “Confidential Informant”.
They are then instructed to JOIN the parent organisation, and seek out and befriend “hotheads” and incite them to acts of violence. With the threat of having their lives ruined, these C.I.’s are under enormous pressure to PRODUCE parents who will be entrapped, on tape saying “We should BOMB the damn school boards!”
Same tactic used, to produce “Muslim extremists”, every time the Patriot act was up for renewal.
And, as pointed out, they can read every text, email, blog post, and listen in on phone calls, as well as “about” searches with travel info, financial activity, etc both when shopping for potential C.I.’s, and potential “Targets”; we saw how this “played out” when targeting the Trump Campaign.
Sickening to have such known rogue law breaking enforcers …
The essential issue is that those who think government is the ultimate answer go in to government.
The sad second amendment ranters are trying to say that they just want the government to leave them alone. Good luck.
It does not matter that you want the larger world to leave you alone – that has been ultimately the greatest luxury afforded those who won the lottery of life by being born in America.
Leftists will, sooner or later, spread their poison over all people, anywhere in the world. The richest and most privileged of Americans think the leftists cannot touch them. Mitch McConnell thinks the leftist madness cannot reach him. No. And No..
The libertarians are ultimately right. But the welfare state is more addictive than heroin. Talk about a dichotomy..
i agree. The constant theme of many articles like this is that ‘We are being reminded of our role in the Constitution and how it works’.
Honestly I stayed to myself, and out of these matters, with no interest in being around people wanting school board positions etc.. that was a failure on my part, as those opposing my right to exist in this country took those positions and have now weaponized them against Us.
———-
The message has gotten through in part, and local contacts and involvement appears to be growing. It can only get bigger and stronger as time continues.
I’ve heard a lot of Democrat politicians speak (poor me), and rarely have I heard one prevaricate better than this jackwagon Garland. What a maroon. He’s a perfect fit in the JoeBama regime, sadly.
And he was nearly on the SCOTUS :/ Oof
A skillful deceiver.
School Board elections are “supposed to be” non-partisan however the Teacher’s unions invest heavily in their favored candidates. They are usually well financed and can put up more signs in more yards etc. As long as someone has big name recognition they’re easier to identify on the ballot: “Okay, I recognize that name so i’ll vote for them” sort of thing. Check with your local Republican Club or Executive Committee website for favored names. If you get a choice of, say, six and only two of them are who you really want, only vote for those two.
Fairfax mom Stacy Langton took photos of the DHS marked and unmarked cars parked outside last week’s FCSB meeting. There was a DHS helicopter circling overhead, too. So the DOJ turned over the enforcement duties to DHS so that AG Garland’s testimony wouldn’t be a lie.
Exactly, but the DHS people had to be approved by Garland!
The minimum goal of Garland’s memo was to intimidate in the hopes to tone down or stop parents for expressing their “unhappiness “, I wonder, did they succeed? Does anybody know?
We will find out next week in VA/NJ if by some miracle the Democrats lose.
I’m not seeing parents quitting where I am. In fact, my friend I’ve been trying to convince to go to school board meetings with me finally showed up with me!
Merrick used the Sergeant Schultz defense while mentally adding each Republican Senator to his naughty list.
What you saw was kabuki. It’s like the cartoon with the sheep dog and the coyote saying hello to each other when they punch in to start the day.
Who am I going to believe: you or my lying eyes?
It could be that Monaco slipped it on his desk and said “sign here”.
Sundance has said it many times. We can’t fix the Federal Level directly. The opposition wants us to be fixated on D.C., just so long as we continue to ignore the infiltrations happening on our Local and County levels. Just attending your local school board meeting (if not running for your local school board) has much more helpful impact than taking some episodic trip to D.C. to protest. If we wish to regain this Republic we have lost, we have to be patient yet resolute, and start from the ground up–from the Local to the County to the State Levels, in that order of priority and amount of scope. Unless we do that, we will never regain the Federal level. Yes, it isn’t as sexy or exciting. Yes, your golf handicap may suffer. But for goodness sake, we all need to start paying attention to this Marxist takeover in our local public institutions and oppose it (via peaceful means).
Actually, I’ve been attending school board meetings since April, and the more I watch them, the more interesting they get as I figure out what they mean by ESSR money (bribe money to make school districts require COVID restrictions) and SEL (the newer term to hide CRT) and such. The more I watch, the more I know where to fight back.
Yes, many/most of us, in years past at election time, focused our attention on “The TOP” of the ticket, and our interest in candidate and positions tends to go down, from there.
Who reading this hasn’t, at some time in the past, voted for a candidate based only on name, or party affiliation, especially school board, mayors judges and even State legislators.
$oro$ well understands this, which is why he funnelled lots of $ at State races, particularly State A.G., and SOS.
Prosecutors, and those who oversee elections,..
No dummy, he.
Nobody is coming to our rescue but us. These guys have at least done a good job of giving the general public the ability to push back against this stuff without having to worry about retaliation. They also humiliated Garland and the Biden admin. The less respect and trust these dirtbags have the easier it is to enact “extreme federalism.”
When there are no consequences to lying to Congress or in any setting it only gets worse.
MG is just another pathological liar who will go after any parents when the communist school boards claim they were threatened.
Sorry, but aren’t these the same senators who are – still! – obediently allowing their masters the DemFascists to get away with The Big Lie Crime of the Century? They always have talked a good game, haven’t they. But kniving MAGA in the back won’t be forgotten or forgiven.

Forced vaxxination in the schools ?
Is that why the machinery is now in place ?
Yes, the sham FDA “hearing” on vax approval for 5-11, virtually GUARANTEES it, and no doubt some low info, idiot parents will DEMAND it, to “protect their children” from those filthy unvaxxed kids.
Garland is fool. It’s amazing that this goof even got through a community college much less Harvard Law School at the top of his class. I guess he had the right connections all through his privileged and entitled life!
You can laugh at the freak show, but the freak show is in charge. “Our” guys didn’t fight back against their installation. All the clever gotcha rhetoric on the Senate floor doesn’t move the dial. For the most part, nobody is even listening.
I would humbly suggest you dispense with the notion that a person graduates from Harvard because he/she is smart.
…or gets into Harvard! You should check the ethnic makeup of the Harvard student body. It’s a real eye opener!
WHAT makes you think intelligence is required, to pass Harvard Law School, any law school, or in fact any school or class?
All thats “required” is a specific skill set, “read, absorb, regurgitate”; intelligence not required, and in fact, having a questioning mind is actually counter-productive.
Over-educated idiots, out of touch (with reality) living in an artificial bubble, “too long inside ivy covered walls” nincompoops, are “in charge” of the asylum.
Angelo Codevilla described the Ruling Class quite well.
DEAD, DEAD on, Sundance. And I’ll back you up by saying, for the third time in a week now, on here:
The blueprint is small to big, friends. We start local. Your local city/county Reps/Sheriffs etc. Your state Reps and State Senators (LOOK at how much Karen Fann has sway over the audit here, win or lose, in AZ). YOUR Nayors, YOUR Governors and YES- YOUR Federal Reps and Senators.
But, DON’T forget- your School Boards. Your Judges. Your (again) Sheriffs. Your Attorney Generals, your votes!
They can’t win when we turn them down local. The proof??
Look at Florida, RIGHT now. He (they!) are winning against this and PROVING to the ENTIRE nation that the state level is key.
The SCOTUS will have a say, sure- but, only in TIME. They don’t take every case, they AREN’T always in session-
Go LOCAL!! Love it, SD. Just covering your 6.
SD is right, we can’t rely on the Feds to fix this mess. It’s started at the bottom and it has to fixed at the bottom. If Trump’s new social media platform takes off then this will finally give the resistance the ability to network and truly organize in ways that Big Tech is making it hard to do on a large scale.
At the end of the day these scum only have power over you if you LET THEM have power over you.
Babylon 5 – Everytime I say NO – YouTube
At lear right now, a GOOD test seems to be; do you consider the 2020 POTUS election was legitimate.
If they equivocate, AT ALL, they ain’t worth a vote.
KariLake, running for Gov of Az, sounded JUST the “right note”;
“If you think the 2020 election was legitimate, you ought to put down Hunters crack pipe!”
And, she said it on tape.
THATS the answer, that gets my vote.
This little POS is still pissed off he didn’t get on the SC. He will try to take down every Conservative he can in the next 4 years.
The reason there appears to be cross talk with AG not understanding the force of his memo is because the left has not realized yet what the right has been saying since Obama/Holder reign.
Speech you disagree with is NOT hate speech though that is the current ‘feeling’. The thought that parents are speaking out in opposition at school boards, or people speaking out against the government mantra shows that the left deems it hate speech thus violence.
Holding your local School Board accountable when the following is happening?
The Dominion Voting Systems are owned by the CCP. And, here is the proof. Down ballot races to include the School Boards are on that ballot. Simply put, someone else selects your School Board members. Voting with these machines in place and with the previously selected voting officials, nullifies our votes.
You must remove the Dominion Voting Systems and the corrupt election officials before starting. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that the “young mother” will get on the local school board.

This all just part of the Cancer that Obama brought into the federal government from his communist allies in Chicago ! They have poisoned the minds of our children with Marxist Ideology (and parents ) and they have used race as a tool to manipulate the masses. First they used it to install a communist in the White house ,then they used every aspect of the federal government against all the people who fell for the Race aspect of of that election cycle. When they sidelined Clinton to focus on the Race issue to get an edge in the election.
I remember when some members of federal government were so excited about the massive data base Obama was building (His political enemies list) he gathered via the IRS !!!!!
THESE ARE EVIL PEOPLE ………..VERY EVIL PEOPLE , they justify this in many ways by proclaiming their “Good Intentions” and never admitting that damage they cause to society with their social engineering scams.
This is not a local schoolboard issue. This is an issue central to the corruption of the federal government. The senators let it happen. They support this behavior. They wallow in this filth at our expense.
.
He kept talking about threats and “harrasment”. Also that the feds have jurisdiction over the internet.
Untouched by the questioners: reports from leftists school board members that they feel “threatened”, “harassed” or even “annoyed” by parental communications that involve the internet.
So… these presumably free-speech-permitted parents have to suffer an investigation by the feds? Hire lawyers with money they might not have? Sit in jail, maybe, like the uncharged Jan. 6 political prisoners? … until finally vindicated ny somehow proving that they did not “annoy” some complaining school board member who was feeling harassed?
Just an “investigation”? All good?
“Hey 1776 guy in picture! Is that an assault rifle you’re carrying? Is that a bump stock? Let’s see your license! Where are you headed so purposefully? The British are your rulers! This land is their land! No violence!! It’s not the right time! Too soon! We’re better than that!”
As we all know, the “local school boards”must be removed, but the local citizens did not select the “local school boards”.
The Dominion Voting Systems, the CCP and the local corrupt election officials did!
What prevents this from continuing until the above is reversed?
How do you suggest, this can be reversed without another election? A fair election.
Our country is being run by Marxist insurgents and they have stolen it because our representatives all all corrupt and getting big bribes.
So when does the entire GOP speak as one and demand Garland’s resignation immediately? When do they start demanding the impeachment of that disgusting old POS in the White House? When do they speak as one against vaccine mandates and passports?
PDJT showed them how to fight. Why won’t they do it?
They won’t do it because they all play for the same team
The sooner people realize voting and Republicans will not fix this
The better chance we have to defeating these scumbag traitors
You’re right. They won’t fight, Garland will just keep on being AG, and now he will be even more emboldened to use federal law enforcement against American citizens for political reasons. This shit never ends!
The Donors.
.
Also headsup. Garland kept nonsequitoriously mentioning “election officials”.
I am suspecting that these “task forces” and “lines of communication” are being put into place using the pretext of the school board meetings to come down on volunteers, complaints, and protests for upcoming elections.
Yes, protecting son-in-law’s Big Tech data gathering and income. But there’s more and bigger that these “meetings” and “assistance” protocols and procedures ready-to-go will be aiming at.
So, Garland retreats under examination, but that doesn’t change the nature of the memo which was sent for the purpose of pure intimidation of parents who will be subdued by the contents of the memo and who are not lawyers able to interpret the legal specifics of the memo; have no doubt, Garland can deny but the memo is still intimidating to parents, so they(Administration) have it both ways unless the memo is destroyed/retracted by Garland/DOJ. Local school boards should defund the NSBA by cancelling their membership dues which fund the NSBA which, after all, is another lobbying organization that we don’t need. This current iteration of the Hussein Obama Administration is evil to the core, as were the first two iterations.
United We Stand, biden we fall
I don’t think most people understand just how true that statement really is. It hasn’t even been a year yet and look at where we are. Can this country withstand another 3 years of this madness? I don’t think so. I really don’t.
Engage the school boards.
Call their bluff.
Stay on offense.
CRT is Marxist, Anti-White, and Anti-American.
Elected officials, TV peeps, etc…will not be there to help.
Everyone has the power to stop this rust and burn it off with the love for our children.
Don’t give in.
BRAVO SUNDANCE
CRUZ AND HAWLEY WERE GREAT
thank you, Sundance!
especially appreciating this, because the local citizens confronting their school boards is what is so magnificent . . .
what is that expression/quote that we have heard so often, “all politics is local” (often attributed to former Speaker Tip O’Neil) – as the profound local pushback against federal overreach is having an effect
– I can’t help but wonder how much the Loudon, VA school district and Terry McAuliffe were involved in that NSBA letter and DOJ response, they were all freaking out (which they should) over reaction to the horrific arrest of Scott Smith.
“The role of a U.S. Senator is to hold the federal arm of the DOJ accountable and put them on notice. This is what they are doing. The role of the engaged citizen is to address the educational manipulation on a local level. You cannot abdicate your responsibility to confront corrupt activity in your neighborhood to Washington DC. It is the role and responsibility of the parent/citizen to deal with that corruption.”
“Snarking at Senators for confrontational hearings might feel like a good way to deflect our responsibility. However, all it does is erode the foundational principle behind our constitutional republic which is built upon individual rights and responsibilities that start at the local level. Those who believe the federal government should address local school board issues, are, by nature of their argument, asking for a larger system of centralized government.”
